1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. This will help them cook evenly.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

3
Drain Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
4
Add Buttermilk and Butter
Add 1 cup of buttermilk and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the drained potatoes.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.

6
Add Seasonings
Stir in 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and chopped chives if using. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

7
Serve Warm
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm as a side dish.
